Ratings and reviews

It's very basic and hasn't had any kind of meaningful update in more than a year. It hardly ever triggers. I set it up, it works for like a day, and then I eventually forget that it's installed. So disappointed. Old: I'm liking this app. I just REALLY wish it had a setting for when it's in vibrate mode. It'd also be great if I could set up different patterns for when it's in vibrate mode.

I have ADHD, and this app has really helped me handle my time blindness. I keep a Samsung Galaxy Bud in one ear when I'm around other people to not bother the notifications. Phone notifications drive me nuts, so I have those on vibrate. I really appreciate that I can have the apps notification play through the phone's music feature and not notification feature. I also appreciate that I can pick different types of notifications for different parts of the hour.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The TEST works, the app is never killed, yet it's never triggered. If the ads weren't so persistent, I would try to work with the app more, but it's not worth the time and not worth correspondence.Other similar apps work just fine. This one should work also, for being such a primitive concept in the smart phone era. I just don't know how to do it! So I inadvertently depend on someone else....
